I've been using macs for around 5+ years and I can tell you that the
warnings do appear. maybe not on your new computers, but they do and
will and when they do, the only way to recover is to run the combo
update. The combo update is the only way to do a manual update if you
need to so it can and often does correct issues even if you have the
latest and have already run the software update version of the current
one.

Nice that this has not happened to you but this possibility has
already been covered so why beat it to death?

Hello,

I maintain five Macs at home, and never got any of those errors. It is
true that the earliest version of Leopard that these computers came
with was 10.5.6, so they have been updated only twice. Maybe for older
installs that have been through all 8 updates, these errors start
appearing. From my experience, using software update should be enough.
The only case where I would use the combo would be if I'm updating
from 10.5.5 to 10.5.8 for example, meaning from a version of the OS
that's not the one that immediately precedes the version I am updating
to.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for that. How can I tell in the future whether or not I need
to run the combo update or the permissions repair?

Thanks,
Russell

Russell,
Your first update would have ran the combo update, so, you are fine.

Is this permission repair something we need to run after every
update? And, how do we run it? If it finds errors, do we then go
and get that combo file or whatever you guys were talking about
and run it?

Thanks for help with this. I was quite proud to have run my first
major update this morning, actually there were 13 items being
updated, and I thought it all went without a hitch, but now I'm
not so sure Help??

you have to run permission repair to see if you get the suid file
warnings or not.

Hi Dan, what is this warning, and when do you get it, if you're
going to get it? I ran the update yesterday, and my system re-
started twice, but I got no warning about an suid file, and I
wonder if they'll fix this with snow leopard?
